i think this thread and others re bb gui illustrate clearly what one person wants another might not. and theres nothing the matter with that. and i note the wider group of bb users has yet to comment...
which i hoped would occur rather than a few of us.

its a problem lots of devs wrestle with...ie how to make the most users happy.

correct me if i'm wrong but i think the above illustrates how important it is for any new gui to be very VERY user configurable.
even tho this might bloat the bb exe....and i really hope pg can pull it off without the new gui being 'cluttered'.

for example i like music apps that offer track views whereby i can maximise waveform real estate. a reason i like reaps v2 and rb.
i dont enjoy environments where i have to do a ton of mouse moves to do things....flitting around many different views.
i beg pg to make the new bb tracks view 'creation central' to make users more productive. in reaps and rb i can do most of my work in tracks view.

obviously the bb menus need a lot of re-thinking.
ive used bb for many years yet i still get confused tween 'is this feature in track actions' for example or 'do i use the top menus.'...????
very confuseing. even more so for a new user.
as to preferences they havent bothered me much but i can see why prefs might cause some confusion.
to be fair i think such was the result of many user requests over the years like other aspects of bb.

i'll throw this out there as its the 'elephant in the room' imho.
will you all be happy with a highly user configurable gui EVEN IF the exe might bloat more ? ie a user can basically design their own gui any way they want. useing a new bb gui user design module feature.
i'm curious re the answers.
